Worse, it’s the same problem after the firm was introduced and promptly went on to do nothing because they were gonna feud with punk and he either got injured or threw out his back carrying the entire promotion or whatever the gently caress

He injured his triceps and then immediately got into a fight with Kenny and the bucks. Even if he didn't didn't fight the EVPs, the firm feud was still going to be dead.

Stokely did good stuff on ROH and now he's back on AEW.

It did but Mike Bennett and at this point Wardlow are geeks, and honestly Adam Cole is kind of a geek too at this point.

Wardlow isn't a geek, he stomped Joe for most of the match and got caught out by a lucky sleeper hold. He almost never loses, poses a lot, flips off the top rope, made MJF piss himself, and is cool as hell.

Adam Cole makes me think of when Christian Bale said he used Tom Cruise as an inspiration for Patrick Bateman, like a mask with no face behind it and nothing behind the eyes. everything he does feels so uncanny and hollow to me. except he doesn't make badass movies like TC, crucial difference

wait...TheChuggs...TC...jesus christ

If Adam Cole went to every movie and started saying stuff like "Big Movie. Big Screen. Loved it." we might have NienNunb become All Elite again.

At least I don't dance with them, right?
My main take on Undisputed Kingdom is that they were stuck in a really awkward position at the start of the year. They couldn't run wild over the whole company, because they were fundamentally not popular enough to justify doing that. But also, they couldn't be immediately swallowed up by the consequences of their actions, because without Adam Cole as a hot act to anchor them they would have been utterly destroyed and all we would have gotten from that whole arc would have been Roderick Strong and Matt Taven being nobodies in AEW. So, they spun their wheels for a few months and hoped no one would notice because the rest of the show has been loving great.

I personally feel like they managed to thread the needle and make UK a decent mid-card heel faction, but... I get it.

EDIT: Misremembered the faction name, which kind of proves the negative people's point.
